:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to BBC Points West, with Alex Lovell and David Garmston.

:00:00. > :00:08.Our main story tonight: Taking the pain out of breast screening.

:00:09. > :00:09.Existing machines can be uncomfortable.

:00:10. > :00:12.Now this could be the future - and the first in the world

:00:13. > :00:17.The new machine uses mine detecting technology,

:00:18. > :00:25.Brilliant, painless. It says, it's like having a good meal in a

:00:26. > :00:37.restaurant. I'd go back. Our other headlines

:00:38. > :00:39.tonight: The wild boar in the Forest of Dean -

:00:40. > :00:42.residents demand action as they turn The Star Wars battle

:00:43. > :00:50.between two of our managers. And the lady and her tramp -

:00:51. > :01:04.they met when he was homeless, Who would have thought it, all these

:01:05. > :01:07.years on, a wedding. We just belong together. That's all.

:01:08. > :01:16.LAUGHTER Women in the west are about to take

:01:17. > :01:20.part in a world first - the trial of a machine that scans

:01:21. > :01:22.for breast cancer, Remarkably, it's the same technology

:01:23. > :01:26.they use to find landmines. The radio wave imaging has

:01:27. > :01:28.taken years to pioneer. And as our health correspondent

:01:29. > :01:30.Matthew Hill reports, it could make the whole

:01:31. > :01:36.experience less uncomfortable. Melanie White could never

:01:37. > :01:39.face having a mammogram. I was very tender in certain parts

:01:40. > :01:42.of my body for years, It's the way they say, "You may

:01:43. > :01:48.experience some discomfort." Thanks to this machine,

:01:49. > :01:55.she's now been able Maria, as it's known,

:01:56. > :02:01.has got transmitters and receivers arranged under a ceramic cup,

:02:02. > :02:05.which the breast sits in. When I went up to the breast clinic

:02:06. > :02:08.in Cheltenham, they were saying, I went, "No," and I said,

:02:09. > :02:16."I know about this radar thing." If you want somebody to do

:02:17. > :02:23.something, you've got to give them a good time and they've got

:02:24. > :02:26.to want to go back. And believe it or not it's been

:02:27. > :02:29.built on technology similar to ground penetrating radar,

:02:30. > :02:33.used to find landmines. The problem is that one

:02:34. > :02:36.in five cancers are not detected through mammograms,

:02:37. > :02:41.and they also use radiation, so for young women in particular

:02:42. > :02:45.who have to come back year-on-year, the doctors have to consider

:02:46. > :02:48.whether it's worth putting A recent study has shown this

:02:49. > :02:53.radio wave technology to be just as accurate,

:02:54. > :02:56.and now doctors are about to start a second clinical trial to find out

:02:57. > :03:00.if it could even be safer It could save lives eventually,

:03:01. > :03:05.because one of the difficulties of mammograms when you are younger,

:03:06. > :03:08.breasts tend to be In a young patient with dense

:03:09. > :03:16.tissue, this machine picks up as well as it would do the patient

:03:17. > :03:20.who doesn't have such dense tissue. It's like having a good

:03:21. > :03:27.meal in a restaurant. Melanie is encouraging

:03:28. > :03:31.other women to take part in this new clinical trial,

:03:32. > :03:35.where it is also hoped doctors can find out how well patients

:03:36. > :03:47.are responding to chemotherapy. And since we've put this story up

:03:48. > :03:50.on our Facebook page, Anything that makes

:03:51. > :03:56.detection simpler and more Annie's posted, "Let's hope this

:03:57. > :04:01.new way is successful, Julie adds, "I was diagnosed

:04:02. > :04:07.with breast cancer after my very All I can say is thank

:04:08. > :04:13.goodness for any kind I'm still fighting

:04:14. > :04:25.the wretched disease." Thank you for your comments. And we

:04:26. > :04:31.wish you well, Julie. A 36-year-old man has

:04:32. > :04:33.appeared in court, accused of murdering a woman found dead

:04:34. > :04:36.in Easton in Bristol. Jaici Rocha is charged

:04:37. > :04:37.with killing 40-year-old Karina Batista, who was found

:04:38. > :04:39.with multiple injuries. Mr Rocha has been remanded

:04:40. > :04:43.in custody until Monday. The family of a young man,

:04:44. > :04:46.who's been missing for almost two weeks, say they're baffled

:04:47. > :04:48.by his disappearance. Lewis Ball vanished after leaving

:04:49. > :04:51.a waterside nightclub Police divers have been searching

:04:52. > :04:56.the water near there today. But as his brother Alex

:04:57. > :04:59.told our reporter Andrew Plant CCTV footage from the night Lewis

:05:00. > :05:03.vanished appears to show him heading Lewis Ball was last seen at 3:20am,

:05:04. > :05:11.the early hours of Sunday He'd been for a night out at Thekla,

:05:12. > :05:17.a popular nightclub that sits Divers have been searching the water

:05:18. > :05:23.over the past ten days. This morning, around 100 yards

:05:24. > :05:27.away from the nightclub, a police team swimming with almost

:05:28. > :05:32.zero visibility - no sign This image from CCTV captured Lewis

:05:33. > :05:40.leaving the nightclub. Now his brother Alex says police

:05:41. > :05:43.have shown him more footage that appears to show Lewis heading away

:05:44. > :05:48.from the water. It's becoming increasingly likely

:05:49. > :05:53.that he didn't enter the water. We're still hoping that

:05:54. > :05:55.someone is going come That's our one hope at the moment,

:05:56. > :06:00.that that someone has I think everyone involved

:06:01. > :06:08.in it is just trying their hardest to try and work out

:06:09. > :06:11.what has happened. Lewis's flatmate raised

:06:12. > :06:16.the alarm when he missed work Police are still appealing for taxi

:06:17. > :06:22.drivers who were out that night to come forward,

:06:23. > :06:25.particularly if they used dashboard cameras, as they try

:06:26. > :06:28.to unravel the mystery Thank you for joining us

:06:29. > :06:38.this Friday evening. Apparently there's a blast

:06:39. > :06:41.of Caribbean hot air heading our way, so we could be

:06:42. > :06:45.in for a balmy weekend. I'm sure Ian will have

:06:46. > :06:48.something to say about that. But before we hear

:06:49. > :06:51.from him - on thin ice. Why the current British figure

:06:52. > :06:54.skating champions have appealed to the public to help them get

:06:55. > :06:58.the World Championships. And I love you so -

:06:59. > :07:09.the next chapter of a love story, which began outside a book shop

:07:10. > :07:15.in Gloucester. As expected, opinions were divided

:07:16. > :07:31.and the strength of feeling was high at the first meeting of a new group

:07:32. > :07:35.set up to tackle the issue of wild Last night, town and parish councils

:07:36. > :07:40.came together to start try to find a solution to the numbers of boar

:07:41. > :07:43.damaging land in urban areas. Our Gloucestershire reporter,

:07:44. > :07:47.Steve Knibbs, was there. I'm 74 years of age,

:07:48. > :07:50.and I've never seen it No one said this was

:07:51. > :08:02.going to be an easy fix. We need to have the pigs living

:08:03. > :08:05.in the forest with a small population so that they have less

:08:06. > :08:08.chance of coming outside. This was always going to provoke

:08:09. > :08:11.strong views on all sides. They are also a valuable asset to us

:08:12. > :08:26.in the Forest of Dean. A power cut added even more

:08:27. > :08:29.atmopsphere to the night. But there was talk of the recent

:08:30. > :08:32.damage the poor have done and ideas Contraception works,

:08:33. > :08:36.and it is not a chemical. It's a vaccine, the same

:08:37. > :08:38.as you give your children. I know people who live in Gloucester

:08:39. > :08:42.who used to regularly come to the Forest with their dogs

:08:43. > :08:44.and young children, and they choose not to come any more

:08:45. > :08:47.because they are frightened High up the agenda, a by-law to stop

:08:48. > :08:55.people feeding the boar and also getting Defra,

:08:56. > :08:57.the Forestry Commision and the local This new action group is aiming

:08:58. > :09:03.high before, they say, It is a challenge, but it is not one

:09:04. > :09:08.we will shy away from. There are people who want

:09:09. > :09:11.all the boar completely culled. We have to find a happy medium

:09:12. > :09:17.somewhere along the way. Hopefully, the three bodies we sit

:09:18. > :09:23.down with may have the answers. Lots to think about, facts to check,

:09:24. > :09:26.more opinions to gauge and a lot of persuading

:09:27. > :09:28.to do, perhaps. This was a very small first,

:09:29. > :09:37.but vital step on a long road. A river in Gloucestershire

:09:38. > :09:40.which was badly polluted last year The River Leadon was so badly

:09:41. > :09:46.polluted that 15,000 fish died. Investigators were called

:09:47. > :09:48.to the river after fish were seen This week Environment Agency

:09:49. > :09:51.released almost 5000 fish back into the river in an attempt

:09:52. > :09:54.to repopulate it. Some unlikely heroes have emerged

:09:55. > :09:56.in the ongoing battle against homelessness in Bristol

:09:57. > :10:00.- city financiers. Over the last year, an investment

:10:01. > :10:03.fund has been buying up flats in Bristol and is renting them out

:10:04. > :10:06.to people who've been homeless in the past and are now ready

:10:07. > :10:10.to take on a tenancy. Investors get a return

:10:11. > :10:12.on their capital, while the charity St Mungo's gets properties

:10:13. > :10:16.to move people into. The world of high finance

:10:17. > :10:26.and homelessness. But investment fund managers are now

:10:27. > :10:30.helping find a solution to one It's being led by a company called

:10:31. > :10:35.Resonance, which helps investors with a social conscience

:10:36. > :10:39.put their money into social causes. Over the last year, the national

:10:40. > :10:43.homelessness property fund has bought 49 properties in and around

:10:44. > :10:47.the Bristol area. Some are being refurbished,

:10:48. > :10:52.but others have been let to tenants. It's been a bit of a nightmare

:10:53. > :10:55.come to be honest. This man and his family have been

:10:56. > :10:58.through the homelessness system and thanks to the partnership

:10:59. > :11:00.between Resonance and St Mungo's, We've moved four times over the past

:11:01. > :11:06.year, until we've finally Now it's just a base to actually

:11:07. > :11:13.create something and move on and create something

:11:14. > :11:18.for these guys. Bristol City Council has

:11:19. > :11:20.already invested ?5 million into the property fund,

:11:21. > :11:22.hoping to get a good return on its money

:11:23. > :11:29.as well as helping the homeless. What we're doing is unblocking

:11:30. > :11:31.a part of the system, because the private rented sector

:11:32. > :11:34.market has completely dried up. So local authorities

:11:35. > :11:38.are paying millions of pounds on temporary accommodation,

:11:39. > :11:40.which they have to fund out We can help move people into a home

:11:41. > :11:51.from warehouse hotels, or whatever their accommodation is,

:11:52. > :12:01.much, much more quickly. It's not just institutions

:12:02. > :12:03.which are investing. Wealthy individuals

:12:04. > :12:05.are contributing as well. I've lived here for 30 years,

:12:06. > :12:09.so the ability to put some money to work in the Bristol area is very

:12:10. > :12:11.important to me. In London, where the scheme started,

:12:12. > :12:14.98% of people succeeded Breaking the revolving door cycle

:12:15. > :12:17.of people time and again ending up on the streets,

:12:18. > :12:20.it's hoped that success The current British figure skating

:12:21. > :12:30.champions have launched a fundraising appeal to help them

:12:31. > :12:32.get to this year's Our Wiltshire reporter

:12:33. > :12:48.Will Glennon is with them As the children's ice hockey

:12:49. > :12:51.sessions going on at the moment in Swindon, but we're here to the

:12:52. > :12:57.potentially the next Torvill Dean, Zoe Jones and Christopher. We'll

:12:58. > :13:01.show you some footage of them in a second. They are really quite

:13:02. > :13:05.excellent. They've only been skating together as a pair since last year,

:13:06. > :13:09.less than 12 months, but already they are British champions and

:13:10. > :13:12.they've been in the European Championships as well. Christopher,

:13:13. > :13:17.you have lodged an appeal for some crowdfunding. That's because you

:13:18. > :13:21.want to train more to get to the World Championships and beyond? Yes.

:13:22. > :13:24.People don't really realise how expensive figure skating is. It

:13:25. > :13:31.requires a lot of money. We need to pay for our cows, for our ice, for

:13:32. > :13:36.our trips, for our fitness coach -- we need to pay for our coach. My

:13:37. > :13:40.friends practice six days a week with their coach, three hours a day,

:13:41. > :13:47.but we only have our coach two or three days a week. Zoe, it's not

:13:48. > :13:52.like you don't work hard and train hard as it is. You have children. A

:13:53. > :13:56.typical day, we get up, I'm on the ice for 6am, coaching. I basically

:13:57. > :14:01.hop from home to the ice rink to the school, back to the ice rink, to the

:14:02. > :14:06.school, to the ice rink. Days start at 6am and finish at 8pm sometimes.

:14:07. > :14:11.Extra funding would help you train more. Christopher, if you got that

:14:12. > :14:20.funding how far could you go? Everyone has a dream in life, like

:14:21. > :14:23.if a CEO listens at the moment, they dream and build their company. Our

:14:24. > :14:29.dream is to go to the Olympics and get a medal. Thanks both, we wish

:14:30. > :14:34.you well. Their fundraising page is on the go fund me .com website, you

:14:35. > :14:39.can find it there. If they do go on and win a future gold at an event,

:14:40. > :14:47.and you help them, maybe you can be happy to have been a part of it.

:14:48. > :14:49.Can we have a go on the gold medal? Share it!

:14:50. > :14:51.Gloucester are in action tonight, looking to bounce back

:14:52. > :14:53.from what their Director of Rugby David Humphreys

:14:54. > :14:55.has called their worst performance of the season.

:14:56. > :14:58.But the Cherry and Whites will have their work cut out

:14:59. > :15:00.as they're up against the reigning Premiership and European

:15:01. > :15:10.Our sports reporter Damian Derrick is at Kingsholm for us now.

:15:11. > :15:12.A defeat by 34-9 last week at Leicester has brought

:15:13. > :15:14.Gloucester's failings firmly into focus.

:15:15. > :15:17.They find themselves down in ninth place in the Premiership table,

:15:18. > :15:24.Alongside me is former Gloucester lock Simon Devereux.

:15:25. > :15:31.You see them on a regular basis. Where is it going wrong? Not taking

:15:32. > :15:35.their chances, a bad start of the season, losing their first three at

:15:36. > :15:39.home and they are not finish things off. The opposition are capitalising

:15:40. > :15:43.on that. Good sides sense that chances. There's good work ethic

:15:44. > :15:48.that but they have to show up at Kingsholm, there's a weakness at the

:15:49. > :15:52.moment. They could finish in the final bottom third, is that

:15:53. > :15:55.Gloucester's level, or should we expect more? They are better than

:15:56. > :15:59.that, they are not finishing things off and the confidence comes from

:16:00. > :16:03.that. They are losing streak and it's easy to get in a winning habit

:16:04. > :16:12.and likewise with losing habit. The fans expect more and deserve more

:16:13. > :16:14.and the way they've been playing, it deserves because it's a tight

:16:15. > :16:17.league. They've lost four games at home this season and the same in the

:16:18. > :16:22.previous two seasons. Two years ago James Hook kicked that penalty to

:16:23. > :16:26.win the match in the final seconds. Can Gloucester fans expect to go

:16:27. > :16:29.home just as happy tonight? We will cling to anything at the moment. I

:16:30. > :16:34.remember that from the halfway line. It was a tight game, could have gone

:16:35. > :16:38.either way. Gloucester were coming off a losing streak then. It's not a

:16:39. > :16:43.confident ground, the sides know that. If they are in the game with

:16:44. > :16:46.20 minutes to go, it goes quiet quickly, but the fans are

:16:47. > :16:49.optimistic. We are keeping the faith and if they can't get a result

:16:50. > :16:52.tonight we are in trouble. Thank you very much.

:16:53. > :16:54.Both our other Premiership sides are in action tomorrow.

:16:55. > :16:57.Bath at home to Harlequins and Bristol away to Leicester.

:16:58. > :16:58.There's another important match happening just up

:16:59. > :17:01.the road from here tomorrow, as Cheltenham Town host Yeovil.

:17:02. > :17:03.It brings together former Glovers boss Gary Johnson and Darren Way,

:17:04. > :17:06.who played and coached under Gary during the club's most

:17:07. > :17:40.They may be galaxies apart when it comes to experience, but they

:17:41. > :17:45.couldn't be closer when sharing in Yeovil's successes. We won the

:17:46. > :17:49.play-off final against Bradford to take little old Yeovil into the

:17:50. > :17:53.Championship and Darren as well as Terry had a big part in that, so the

:17:54. > :17:57.three of us holding up the Cup, which I nearly dropped, by the way.

:17:58. > :18:01.It was heavier than I thought! That was a great moment because we knew

:18:02. > :18:06.how much effort that we'd put into that. Back in 2001, Gary's impact on

:18:07. > :18:10.Darren and the rest of the players was immediate. The following year

:18:11. > :18:13.they won their first piece of silverware, the FA Trophy. He

:18:14. > :18:17.enabled us to create that environment, the environment we

:18:18. > :18:23.wanted to work in. He built a group of players that would become winners

:18:24. > :18:27.and that's what it takes to be in football management. 15 years' on

:18:28. > :18:35.Darren's transition to manager has come as no surprise. He's got it as

:18:36. > :18:39.well, a passion for the game, handle the problems and the highs and lows

:18:40. > :18:44.of professional football. He seems to be doing it very well. Well

:18:45. > :18:48.enough in fact to get one over on his old boss earlier in the season,

:18:49. > :18:53.as Yeovil beat Cheltenham 4-2. But will they be able to put their

:18:54. > :18:57.professional differences aside after the match? We'll have a chat. He

:18:58. > :19:02.came in our office last time and it was quite brief, but after a defeat

:19:03. > :19:07.there's one thing we have got, we've got mutual respect we're both in

:19:08. > :19:14.each other's' souls all the time. I think it's only professionally that

:19:15. > :19:19.we don't make contact as often as we would like -- we are in each other's

:19:20. > :19:29.thoughts all the time. But how will this latest episode end? That match

:19:30. > :19:32.and the Football League fixtures click off at 3pm.

:19:33. > :19:35.Bristol City are not playing, as their opponents Fulham

:19:36. > :19:39.But you can listen to all the matches on your BBC

:19:40. > :19:40.local radio station, as can you tonight's match

:19:41. > :19:43.We'll have the highlights in our late bulletin

:19:44. > :19:56.Brilliant, thank you, I love that report. It looks great. I was going

:19:57. > :19:59.to say about a love story, but we'll have to wait for a moment! It's a

:20:00. > :20:02.good piece, contain yourself! It's been a big day for two

:20:03. > :20:05.of the west's athletes, who've been honoured at Buckingham

:20:06. > :20:06.Palace. Paralympian Stephanie Millward

:20:07. > :20:09.from Wiltshire took home two gold medals for swimming at Rio last

:20:10. > :20:11.year, and Olympian Helen Richardson-Walsh, who grew up

:20:12. > :20:13.in Weston-Super-Mare, Prince Charles awarded

:20:14. > :20:22.them both with MBEs. It's a love story which began

:20:23. > :20:25.in the most unusual of ways - Back in 1975, Joan Neininger

:20:26. > :20:34.was drawn to a homeless man she saw rifling for food outside the book

:20:35. > :20:37.shop she used to run. Now the couple, who are

:20:38. > :20:40.in their late 80s, will finally There was a little lawn there,

:20:41. > :20:50.and a seat, for people to sit on. The bride and groom,

:20:51. > :20:53.Joan and Ken on the street Their story reads

:20:54. > :20:58.reads like a novel. Appropriate then that it began

:21:04. > :21:06.and my bedroom up there. Joan ran the shop in the centre

:21:10. > :21:14.she saw Ken through the window. That's where the bin was, where

:21:15. > :21:23.I used to go and look for food. Anything that you could eat,

:21:24. > :21:31.because I was hungry. So Joan gave Ken a cup of tea

:21:32. > :21:34.that day and sketched He was a shy man who had

:21:35. > :21:39.suffered a head injury He develop schizophrenia

:21:40. > :21:45.and ended up sleeping rough. He always looked as if he didn't

:21:46. > :21:49.belong in the streets. He looked gentlemanly

:21:50. > :21:53.and he spoke very nicely. Joan invited Ken to move into her

:21:54. > :22:02.family home and she helped him Over the years he became

:22:03. > :22:06.part of the household, Although Joan's relationship

:22:07. > :22:13.with Ken was purely platonic, her But as the decades passed, the three

:22:14. > :22:20.of them became good friends. Then, in 1983, Joan's

:22:27. > :22:35.as shadows follow me #. Ken and Joan are about to marry, 42

:22:36. > :22:42.years after that first cup of tea. How much of a difference has

:22:43. > :22:46.Joan made to your life? I was on the street,

:22:47. > :22:55.it was terrible. At times, Ken's mental health

:22:56. > :23:03.problems have been severe, but Joan has helped him,

:23:04. > :23:05.and together they've tried to raise The voices in my head would have

:23:06. > :23:12.driven me to kill myself. It was Joan who proposed to Ken,

:23:13. > :23:39.with the full support What does the future hold

:23:40. > :24:05.in store for you now? Well, there won't be

:24:06. > :24:21.babies, and there won't be They are fun, aren't they! How

:24:22. > :24:24.beautifully honest. That was lovely. How romantic. We wish them all the

:24:25. > :24:30.very best for tomorrow, and for their life ahead. And they are going

:24:31. > :24:31.to have this barbecue springtime weather, apparently! They have to

:24:32. > :24:44.make it happen now. start spring in the meteorite alert

:24:45. > :24:50.-- on the meteorological sense, but we might not be done with some cold

:24:51. > :24:54.phases of whether coming our way. Both for the end of this month and

:24:55. > :24:58.equally as we get towards the middle part of March. That could well be as

:24:59. > :25:01.a result of the warming we are expecting to take place, high up in

:25:02. > :25:06.the stratosphere towards the tail end of February. But that takes two

:25:07. > :25:10.weeks to affect the atmosphere at lower levels. The forecast for the

:25:11. > :25:13.weekend. It will be mild, most certainly. It will be one which for

:25:14. > :25:17.the most part will be dry. There will be at times a bit of light rain

:25:18. > :25:21.around. For example, as we get towards the tail end of Saturday, a

:25:22. > :25:29.little bit more overnight, perhaps lingering into the first couple of

:25:30. > :25:31.hours of Sunday. Towards the back end of Sunday, we could see a bit

:25:32. > :25:33.more light rain. Aside from that looking effectively dry and the

:25:34. > :25:36.question is the balance between cloud cover and whatever brightness

:25:37. > :25:39.we happen to get. Here's a wider look at how things are shaping up at

:25:40. > :25:43.the moment. As we had through the course of demise, there will be an

:25:44. > :25:46.injection of quite a bit of low cloud into the mix. Some foggy

:25:47. > :25:50.conditions perhaps, particularly parts of Dorset. It will take a

:25:51. > :25:53.while for that to break up through tomorrow. It looks better through

:25:54. > :25:55.the afternoon in terms of brightness. As we have a weak cold

:25:56. > :26:11.front coming through the tail end of

:26:12. > :26:13.Saturday, into Sunday, that will bring a sprinkling of some light

:26:14. > :26:16.rain. But very little in terms of overall amounts. This evening, into

:26:17. > :26:18.tonight, looking dry. We could get areas of light rain getting into

:26:19. > :26:21.western areas. That aside it is looking dry. There will be quite a

:26:22. > :26:23.bit of low cloud developing. It will be most pronounced towards the

:26:24. > :26:25.south. It could turn the murky through Dorset and neighbouring

:26:26. > :26:33.areas. Temperatures for all others in a range of Hall -- range of 4-6 C

:26:34. > :26:36.by daybreak. Most of us will wake up to extensive cloud, then the

:26:37. > :26:40.question is how that tends to lift and break-up and fragment as we had

:26:41. > :26:47.through lunchtime, into the afternoon. It's a usable day. It's

:26:48. > :26:50.looking dry, a day of quite like winds, and towards the evening you

:26:51. > :26:54.will see the signal for a little bit of light rain and drizzle, trying to

:26:55. > :26:57.creep back in from the West. That should be as we are getting through

:26:58. > :27:01.towards the hours of darkness onwards. Temperatures tomorrow, once

:27:02. > :27:06.again considering the run of getting into doubles low figures, as they

:27:07. > :27:13.will do so on Sunday. Sunday, you might have a chance of a brighter

:27:14. > :27:16.day was the early drizzle gets out of the way. Some much milder air

:27:17. > :27:21.coming our way into Monday. I'm not expecting is to get into 16-17,

:27:22. > :27:26.eastern parts of the UK might. Despite our hopes, but you are the

:27:27. > :27:31.most polite person to say no! You say it in the nicest way! Well,

:27:32. > :27:37.Alex, the weather, blah blah blah... We will allow you to enjoy the

:27:38. > :27:40.weather even though meteorologically speaking it's not spring, but it is

:27:41. > :27:42.spring like! We have to go. Please don't write in! See you soon,
